This movie took over a year to create and was a collaboration project between Sketchfab artists:

Lead artist, storyboarding, modelling, rough animating: Conrad Justin https://sketchfab.com/ConradJustin

Modelling, animating: Igor Puškarić https://sketchfab.com/iggy-design
Observatory concept: Chaitanya Krishnan (me) https://sketchfab.com/chaitanyak
Bones and gears: Terrie Simmons https://sketchfab.com/terrielsimmons
Several pipes: dark-minaz https://sketchfab.com/dark-minaz
Ideas, support: Tycho https://sketchfab.com/Tycho_Magnetic_Anomaly

Was fortunate to be part of the team that worked on this fantastic realtime animation short.


My addition was this floating observatory .. sort of in a shattered reality kind of stasis.. like if the base of the tower was a lab where a wierd experiment went wrong and wiped out the lab and froze time in that area
